A small but powerful util. Conforms to the principle of doing one thing and doing it well. It's got a whole office of normal Windows using people (read: non-geeks) commited to CVS version control. Integrates into the Explorer Shell. Right-click and commit, update, checkout. Thanks tortoise dev team.
If you are looking for just a servlet container, Resin is absolutly the way to go. Nicities abound- include level caching, solid connection pooling, and my personal favorite- Auto Servlet and class compliation. Resin really makes things that **should** be easy, easy. The config file is a breeze, running as an NT service is a breeze, classpath is a breeze, pretty much everything is a breeze. If Tomcat was more like Resin, server side java would rule the world.
Oh, and Resin is about 4x faster than Tomcat. See

The most important feature which is missing is transactions, ie: rollbacks, commits etc etc.
Not sure where you are getting this information. Of course SAPdb supports commit/rollback of transactions. In fact, looking at their SQL documentation, there is a whole chapter on transactions (can't link to it b/c their urls are session encoded).
Actually, all db sessions are implicity contained in a transaction.
The real question is who gives a crap about Lucases' hamhanded "prequels". They both are terrible movies and are case studies of how little computer generated effects add to shabby plotting, storytelling and characterizations. Really, of the three originals, only the second has any interest or artistic merit outside of the aging geek world and nostalgic loyalties. The first seems almost 50's naive (and poorly acted) in its black and white archetypes. The third degenerates with farting and burping jokes and culminates in a teddy bear rumpus.
Let's be clear about the two prequals: CGI is never a replacement for a real plot, or real acting or well designed and shot action. Lucas seems to have an uncanny ability in being able to turn the best actors into foam-core cutouts with lines that convince me that Lucas is autistic and or tone deaf.
I think Anthony Lane (funny dude) of the New Yorker had it right in his review of Titanic a couple of years ago. To paraphrase, he said that CGI used in Titanic was humanized, secondary to the script, characters, relations and plot. I had the same feeling coming out of "Minority Report". The special effects were being driven by a solid and brain twisting whodunit framework. Two years ago, I exhilarated was by the paradigm shifting Matrix, which beats the pants off anything Lucas has directed. The Matrix changed the way geeks and movie buffs expected to experience Sci-fi, much as Blade Runner and further back, Metropolis, did before it.
Lucases' movies and this DVD are just joyless corporate exercises in brand extension and cash flow.
No support for web applications?

Eclipse 2.0 Released
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Just wondering if Eclipse 2.0 has any support for Java web apps. I've downloaded it and it looks to me like there are noticeable omissions in the wizards. I tried to import an existing web app, complete with WEB-INF, WEB-INF classes etc and am not getting much help from the eclipse environment. And I can't find JSP/HTML/XML highlighting. Am I missing something? I vaguely remember reading something about eclipse 1.x not having the features of some IBM IDE. I was hoping that this would be added in Eclipse 2.0. Are there any plugins?
